Investment Banking for Gold Medals: Going Cloud


Meet IT manager Jason Cox, who single-handedly manages IT at Own The Podium, a Calgary-based organization that aggregates and shares athlete performance and funding data to Canadian athletes and coaches. At a recent roundtable discussion about cloud adoption, Cox outlines Own The Podium’s path to the cloud. He discusses the scalability that suits the four-year Olympic Games cycle, but he also acknowledges fear of potentially putting sensitive data in the cloud. While most companies tout the cost benefits of the cloud, Cox did say Own The Podium’s path to the cloud is probably capped at this point because putting anything further in the cloud for this small organization will prove more costly than staying on-premise.
